Wendy’s Restaurants in North Carolina Stand With Chick-fil-A

Jim Furmen, from North Carolina, posted these signs on all of his 86 Wendy’s stores in the state.

BuzzFeed reported:

The sign, and its implied support of Chick-fil-A’s stance on gay marriage, was the work of Jim Furmen, who owns 86 Wendy’s franchises in North Carolina. When pictures of the signs were posted on Reddit and began circulating online, Wendy’s quickly took to Twitter to say the franchise owner did not represent the views of the entire company, saying “We proudly serve ALL customers” and adding that the signs had been taken down.

Conservative bloggers and writers then took issue with the insinuation that Chick-fil-A did not serve all customers (even its critics haven’t made that charge), whereupon Wendy’s backtracked. “Not our intention at all,” Wendy’s said repeatedly to users that criticized them. “We’re simply saying that an independent franchisee posted the sign.”
They went on. “We’re honored to serve every customer,” Wendy’s said in another Tweet. “We’d assume they are as well!”

It’s not clear how long the signs were running outside of Wendy’s.
